well, yes, ehm... you see Im not really a whole serb... Im just half of it, the other half is a croat... that would explain my ignorance :whistle:
but I have an even better question: what kind of croat/slovenian are you, when you know what kind of drink was drinking one of the greatest serbian legends?! :bleh:

...and now for the long expecting and worldwide knowing
PART TWO of the TALES OF MARCO KRALYEWICH
...now as I mentioned in part one, Marco was really strong! He was seen dragging an ox across his shoulders or braking a tree with he's BARE hands!! Ofcourse srenght was only one of the things that helpped him to defeat his enemies: he also had a great flail (which contained sixtysix "bumps") and ofcourse there was his trusty and noble steed: his horse (not a donkey) Sharatz. Now Sharatz wasn't Marco's first horse. He had many horses before him, but non of them couldn't carry him for a long period of time. He discovered sharatz in one quite interesting way. One day during his travels and adventures, Marco noticed a small leppered young male horse in a company of some gypsies... Not judging by the looks Marco thought that this horse would fitt him. He took the horse by his tail and tryed to spin him around above his head (as he did with all the horses that he tested), only this time the horse didn't move an inch! So Marco bought the horse from the gypsies, cured him from the lepper and taught him to drink wine (not rukeeya).
And thus, this concludes this chapter...
Stay patient as the third sequel of TALES OF MARKO KRALYEWICH is coming, also known as PART THREE where we will demystifize the death of one of the greatest (living?!) legends...

God knows...

I was couple times in Slovenia, that counts? LOL

[Unknown Hero]

It does! You are 0.001% Slovenian :roflol:

I didn't come here to spam! Here's the story my professor of Geography (the best professor in school and around) told us about:

In one village in Croatia, there were four main (rich) families.
First (M1 family) had a son, who was just about to marry a doughter from second (F1 family). But as son of third (M2 family) fancied F1's doughter, he swithed her for doughter of fourth (F2 family), so son of M1 family married a doughter from F2 family instead of F1 family. He recognized the trap, but he said: "Since I can't have F1's doughter, it's better anything than nothing, so he didn't complied, and everyone was happy!


I hope you understood this story, as I tried to write it the best way I can.

I'm from Australia and there aren't many legends here (except for those of the Aboriginals - whose legends I cannot recall, but I dpo remember some of them having the most interesting morales as far as the environment is concerned)

There is one legendary figure, though, whom dates back to only the end of the 19th century. His name was Ned Kelly. I don't know how many of you europeans would have heard of him, but here, he's all over the place.

Ned was a bushranger (a highwayman, basically), famous for his wearing of a custom-made body suit that consisted of a breastplate and a helmet that look like a bucket with a long eye-slit. During his short life, he robbed a heck of a lot of coaches, killed three policemen in cold blood (although the exact details of the motives and the events around these killings is still debated by many armchair historians) and was eventenually captured after a legendary standoff at a place called glenrowan (after which he was hung).

Although, the strange thing about this is that he is only remembered by history for commiting violent crimes. Some historians have illustrated him as a martyr for the underdogs the irish community (of which I am descended from, adding another interesting personal fact, my ancestor, an irishman, was one of the cops that ned shot), whom were shat on by the british in the early days. There have been a number of movies made about him, the latest of which starred heath ledger and orlando 'legolas' bloom.

Australia tends to idolize it's famous criminals, being a nation that arose from a penal colony. The latest legendary criminal is a man called 'chopper reid' whom rose to fame at the end of the twentieth century. He was a hitman from the melbourne underworld whom cut his ears off in jail. In the early nineties, when he ws serving another sentence for murder, he wrote an autobiography and a few crime novels, instantly earning him the status of a nation-wide celebrity. There was a movie made abut him, called 'chopper' and starring eric bana (whom played the Hulk in the recent ang lee movie)

Yet, despite our criminal history, australia is not that criminal a place. Here, in canberra, we hear about murders commited in melbourne and sydney. The underworld is lame, consisting of a bunch of wnnabe godfathers whom have recently started killing each other in our biggest 'gang-war' yet (20 people down so far over a ten year period- laugh your asses off all americans, please). The only real criminals are international gang members, whom tend to quietly import drugs and not make any sort of a scene. Yet we have based our culture almost solely around criminals like ned kelly (politicians here often pretend to fight for the 'underdog' whlst happily raising our taxes and taking away our benefits). I think all of this is incredibly stupid, my country is lame, peoples, llame, I tell you.

actually, one thing i forgot to mention in my rantings is that the real underdogs nowadys are the native aboriginals, whom are living in fourth world conditions (there society is going downhill, not gradually developing like third world ones). They are constantly losing support from the government, have massive alcohol problems throughout their society (they've only been drinking for maybe a hndred and fifty years, unlike those of european and asian descent, whom have been drnking for thousand) and they are subject to the most horrific acts of racil vilification by mainstrem society ('abbo is almost an accepted word in most conversation). There re changes that need to be made in my country! fast! :Titan:
